Amax Remodeling

Our project was to remodel the guest bathroom in our home in Arrowhead Lakes. The home is a custom home we built in 1999, but it did not include the upgraded bathrooms we now wanted which included custom tile floors, tile and glass showers, new granite counters, new toilets and sinks, upgraded lighting, new mirrors and all new upgraded hardware for the shower and sinks.We selected Amax Remodeling after soliciting quotes from a range of contractors including small specialty contractors that were basically tile setters, to larger firms with expansive bathroom showrooms. Our selection criteria were as follows: competitive price, full range of service (important since we were considering add-on projects), flexibility and capability to do add on work and make changes on the fly, viable references, ability to provide recommendations and guidance, and ability for us to provide certain materials (mirrors, lighting, plumbing fixtures) that we had already selected. Of the bids we reviewed, we found the small specialty contractors unable to provide specific detail on all aspects of our project outside of their area of expertise, and the large bathroom companies were quite expensive and very inflexible. I found four general contractors with good bathroom remodeling experience that were price competitive. Of these I selected Amax Remodeling. They offered a very detailed quote, a competitive price, a broad range of capability and excellent references. I spoke with one prior Amax client by phone and they described a project similar to ours where they needed the flexibility to add projects. They were extremely pleased with Amax and were specifically complimentary of how easy Amax was to work with. We contracted with Amax in early November with a hard deadline for the guest bathroom to be done by early December due to out of town company arriving. From our viewpoint, it was a very good experience. Amax provided a wealth of good recommendations to help us finalize many of the details of our project, the workers arrived on schedule and finished on schedule. The supervisor was on site daily and sent txt messages to us routinely regarding start/finish dates for each phase of work. Small things were appreciated like workers introducing themselves when they arrived and advising us when they left, plus the various craftsmen (sheet rock, tile layers, plumbers, electricians) were very capable and also knew each other and could easily coordinate their specific tasks among themselves. The guest bathroom came out beautifully so we expanded the work to include remodel of the master bathroom and downstairs bathroom. Since we used the same materials in these bathrooms as the original guest bathroom Amax was able to quickly order materials and begin work. All of our bathrooms came out beautifully. Amax was able to offer great advice in areas where we were undecided, and they made all of the changes we needed on the fly and the projects progressed. Everything was completed on time and on budget. We would definitely use AMAX for future projects.
